The discount retailer has shoppers yet again racing to stores, this time for a gorgeous rattan planter.
The large black and beige mixed rattan planter costs just £19.99 and is designed to withstand the unpredictable UK weather.
Made from sturdy plastic instead of wood, it can withstand rain as well.
One shopper who purchased a few of the plant pots was so impressed that she decided to share her bargain find on social media.
Alison Tribe took to the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing And Bargains UK, sharing a snap of her latest purchase.
She said: "Lovely new rattan planters, Home Bargains, £19.99.
"Had different sizes, all different prices, really pleased with it to add different blooms to the garden."
In the image she shared, she had already gotten to work and filled the plant pots with some gorgeous purple Scabiosas.
The plant pots were the perfect addition to add a touch of glam to her garden and matched her egg chair perfectly.
While the plant pots are currently in stores, they are yet to be placed on the Home Bargains website.
Avid gardeners in the Facebook group, which boasts over 2 million members, were quick to take to the comments of the post.
Many loved the stylish addition to Alison's garden and couldn't wait to get their own.
One person wrote: "Are they plastic? They are pretty."
Alison replied: "Yeah, really good quality."
8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots.
Tricyrtis
A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'.
Penstemon
I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.
Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata'
With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade.
Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue'
A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period.
Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem'
If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.
Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange'
A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.
Rosa 'Noisette Carnee'
A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.
Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel'
I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.
Another commented: 'Saw these today, they look lovely! Thanks for posting."
"They are lovely," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "These are well nice."

Remember that some products are limited to selected stores, so always check with your local shop before wasting a trip. How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner. If, like Aimee, you want to transform your garden space as the weather warms up, B&M has you covered. One product guaranteed to make your backyard the envy of your neighbours is the Stained Glass Hanging Decoration. The purse-friendly buy comes in a wide variety of colours and patterns from stunning floral designs to captivating mandala patterns. Priced at just £4 each, these beautiful hanging decorations will revamp your garden, without you having to break the bank. Plus, when the sunlight catches on the stained glass, it will create a spectacular glow which will transform your garden into a paradise. B&M said: "This unique Stained Glass Hanging Decoration will add a touch of colour and beauty to your garden. "Perfect for hanging in your garden and adding to your outdoor decor." Another product guaranteed to give your garden a glow-up, is the Flower Solar Light. The bargain buy comes in a variety of different colours, including yellow and pink, so is guaranteed to inject your garden with a stunning splash of colour.

Rachel Clutterham told Fabulous: 'My garden was worn, unlevel and a trip hazard. 'I looked around for ideas and inspiration for what could be achieved on a small budget and could find nothing. 'The idea came about when Wickes delivered the decking planks and they were just laid on the ground! 'It all came from there, and so I came up with a design I liked and simply glued them down and added shingle to fill in the gaps! 'It had brightened up the garden no end. 'And the plus side of using the Easihold is that it leaves them with a lovely shine.' She then spent a further £60.60 on one more decking plank which was sawn to make stepping for garden gate end. She also added four more bags of shingle to lay over the slabs and then £35.00 on Easihold to seal it all. She added: 'Just a few little bits to complete at the end of it and it's all done for £300.

Since the incident, the company has reportedly lost around £300 million, having paused online orders and purchases on apps until at least mid-July. Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing. 2. Streamlined Skincare The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results. 3. Vegan Collagen Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. 4. The Rise Of AI AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level. 5. Hair Loss Solutions - Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health. Shoppers were eager to find the beauty bag for themselves after seeing Nicky's post on the Facebook group ,Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. One person wrote: "Brillaint buy, love mine." Another commented: 'My store has sold out." "I was there first thing 8am to get mine on Thursday," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Got one yesterday... some lovely things, and just in time for holiday." "I got one on Thursday. It's really good. Worth the money and no minimum spend,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'I got this in store. It's great. Definitely worth the money."
